Bears and Blooms Collage Class

If you have been in Asheville in the summer or fall, you have had a bear in your yard, passed one on the parkway or you’ve seen one having a mocha and biscotti at a local cafe. Let’s have some fun with this gorgeous, pesky furball.

Goals:
-Have fun.
-Learn basic analog (cut by hand) paper collage techniques.
-Learn how to transfer a photo onto a surface.
-Basic cutting and gluing, building layers to create depth.
-Complete the foundation of building a portrait of your favorite fur or feathered friend.

Materials Provided:
-Practice boards and panels will be provided.
-I will also provide a wide selection of papers and gel medium, some scissors, paper towels, finger cots.

You will bring:
– If you have a great bear photo, bring an 8 X 10 paper copy. Otherwise we will use one of my images.
– Extra colorful papers, magazines, etc., that have a variety of colors and textures.
– Apron or clothes you do mind getting a little glue on.

Don’t forget to bring a beverage and snack.

Everyone can do this! Don’t be intimidated. It’s all about learning, experimenting, community and having fun!
